Call to Action: Horse Killers Stanley Brothers Son Slits Dogs' Throat with his Pal - for fun

Boots Stanley, the son of the infamous Stanley Brithers, the millionaire horse kill buyers, was arrested along with his pal Steven Sadler, for torturing and then slitting a defenseless dog’s throat bath the family’s kill lot in Bastrop, Louisiana.

I became familiar with the Stanley Brothers in early August, when I saw a horse that they were going to ship to slaughter to Mexico being offered for “bail” money to save her. Even though the bail money was double the price of what they would get for meat money, I bailed her out and two other horses, and helped bail a mare and her young foal who was headed to slaughter. I am not going to go into the horse slaughter business here. You can do that research if you are brave enough to do so. But here are the basics. The US banned horse slaughter, so now we ship our unwanted horses, many who are loyal and safe camp horses at the end of the summer, TBs who aren’t fast enough, lots of Quarterhorses who got into bad hands, and lots of draft horses from the lovely Amish, who treat their animals horribly for the most part. This girl was a big Belgian draft, and I bailed her, quarantined her on a Stanley lot that I was told wasn’t a Stanley lot, where they starved her for 3 weeks and ignored a serious medical issue. There are pictures out there of Hal Stanley slitting the throat of a mule he’s laying on, and a much-repeated story of them dousing a horse in gasoline and lighting him on fire. But I digress. They are now under federal investigation, since the local good-old-boys have never acted on these other horrendous stories.

This man and his friend tied a rope around a dog’s neck, hanged him from the saddle of a slaughter-bound horse, and then put him on the ground and slit his throat several times. Sadler did the slitting; Boots encouraged him and video taped it. They will be arraigned on Sept. 20th for two counts only:

How did this family get away with so many abuses, and still be able to deal with animals?? You tell me. I tried to call the Bastrop, LA District Attorney to find out about the past accusations, but don’t expect a call back. Please call them and demand that the monstrous Stanley Brothers don’t buy their son out of the horrible crime!! If you love animals, please...call:

Here is one of the many petitions out there regarding the horses.

Many people are following up on the horse abuses and this, but the more people who call, the better. Thank you for caring.

Sometimes a couple stress free days of decent hay and water makes a world of difference.

When you look at that place on google maps the back acres, the acres no one ever sees look like a hellish piece of land.

Those kind of 'clans' are usually into other animal businesses like breeding pitbulls. Facebooks been a huge revenue stream of easy, easy cash for that group.
